Unlike shudds other clubs just get on with it and don't feel sorry for themselves, just out of interest who are the 12 players that are injured and won't be turning out against Widnes?

So no other clubs fans have complained that sky/the media 'never mention our injury list' when they bang on about Wigan/Saints/Leeds' etc?

As for 12 i've never mentioned any numbers !

Mamo out for the season !

Would it make any difference or make you feel any better if Sky/the media gave you the mention you obviously crave for regarding your injuries.

Quite right you didn't mention it but the above poster did and I assumed that the 12 injuries were common knowledge among your fans.

we have one of the best rehab teams in the league ? The players look match fit to me ? what backroom staff are we supposed to be looking at ?

Chissitt - i wasn't craving anything, my comment was a sarcastic dig at how the media etc always mention how the big clubs are suffering injuries but less so when it's the not-so-big clubs, stop trying to pick an argument on here and go and discuss Wakefield issues !!

obviously not. we need a better conditioner to help stop them getting injured in the first place yes some are down to bad luck but alot of these should of been preventable.

gutted!!! 2017 has been abit of a right off for him... cant wait to see him have a full 2018 with us now

so which are preventable ?

Since we don't have details of most of the injuries, or information about previous injuries/training regimes it's difficult to know which are preventable. But things like hamstrings can be.

mamo came with an ankle problem , ikahihifo got knocked out , brunos injury sustained over a long period of time , jermaine back spasms which happened in training saturday morning , ukuma taii also had back problems , simpson is just injury prone , symonds also came with a bad knee , adam o'brien suspected broken foot . mason dead leg

Not sure how much of them injuries a new backroom would prevent

It would appear that you have a complex about these perceived big clubs and their injuries you keep referring to you really need to let it go and save the sarcasm for when it's appropriate.

We really don't have any on field issues apart from our injuries which tbf we do not advertise or moan about them, so it's surprising you are lumping us in with the rest of the big clubs.

I agree, too much blaming of the back room team without any facts on here for me, it's rugby league its a tough game, injuries are part of it, its how you perform with the players available that matter.

with mamo its his other foot.

symonds it was his other knee.. the good one supposedly!

its a strange coincidence though how the last two seasons we have been hit very badly

previous to this we were fine / lucky or had greg brown in charge!!

was mentioned early in pre season 2015 about players getting injured in pre season and early on in the season and pinpointed that it could be the new conditioners that were brought it... they got the chop for 2016 but still not improved...but our fitness has i suppose..better in games

injuries have increased since dave o'sullivan left

As far as Ukuma's injury is concerned he sustained it within the first few minutes of a game but ended up playing the whole game. Don't know if that was his choice or the back room staff and don't know if playing on caused a longer lay off. One thing I do know is those who claim he hasn't been putting the effort in should think before they question his commitment.

murphy out for the season

obrien ok for next week

ikahihifo back next week

ferguson might be back next week

mellor acl injury

gaskell went off but not too bad.

update..

mamo - out for season
murphy - out for season (not certain though)
symonds - out for season


we look set to welcome back

turner & lawrence for the super 8's...

Jake Wardles injury must be terrible for him to be out this long

Not necessarily... If it's a recurrence of an acl injury then it's pretty obvious that he's most likely not doing his rehab correctly. An ACL knee reconstruction should be stronger than ever as long as you put the work in during rehab.
Obviously I don't know if that's the case, maybe he's just extremely unlucky. But from experience it sounds like rehab could be the issue.

looks like ferguson and roberts have been added to the list!

only giants can have a break and return with more injuries!

Are they injuries- or is it just squad rotation due to returning players?

Think they have been playing with knocks so no point playing them if we dont need to like we have previous weeks.
